Reviews"A brilliant, principled, brave book. "- R. James& Woolsey, Chair of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) and former Director of Central Intelligence., &"A brilliant, principled, brave book. If you - Muslim or of any other faith - are truly loyal to our Constitution and its guarantees of liberty and democracy, then welcome, friend. We have a big fight on our hands. Baran, a practicing Muslim, introduces us to freedom's principal enemy in that fight: determined Islamists -i e Wahhabis/Salafis/Muslim Brotherhood members - who are hijacking a noble religion and simultaneously, in their words, &"sabotaging [the West's] miserable house from within...&" via a &"civilization jihad.&" So if you are in fact democracy-hating, women-oppressing, and terror-financing but you want to be called &"moderate&" just because you're not detonating anything right now, bad luck, buddy -- you've just been outed. &"- R. James Woolsey, Chair of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) and former Director of Central Intelligence., "This book is very informative and helps both Muslims and non Muslims understand the ideologies, historical trends and current events in Muslim communities. It is an especially valuable resource for western countries because it aptly explains how some Muslim societies are evolving and resolving issues of religion and state. It is also important for Muslims to see how they are being perceived by others. I recommend it highly for those who need to better understand the many facets of Islamic doctrine and beliefs.

"- R.

For the patient, incremental and systematic approach utilized by the Muslim Brotherhood and other non-violent extremists-to create a so-called "fully-Islamic" personality, family, community and state-poses an even greater threat to the core values of modern society, than do their impatient terrorist brethren, armed with guns and bombs." - C.

Table Of ContentChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Islam vs. IslamismChapter 3: Rise of Islamism in EuropeChapter 4: Rise of Islamism in the U.S.Chapter 5: September 11 Awakens the West, But Islamists AdvanceChapter 6: Conclusion and Policy Prescriptions

SynopsisSince September 11, Western governments have legitimized and empowered "nonviolent Islamists" as representatives of Islam for all Muslims in the West, an approach that has worried Muslim moderates. Citizen Islam addresses the implications of this approach. The book opens with an overview of the theology and history of Islam, to show that violence and intolerance are not fundamental aspects of the religion. It then explains the growth of Islamism in Europe and in the United States before suggesting that both are finally beginning to recognize the threat posed by nonviolent Islamists. Lastly, it outlines steps that Western and Muslims leaders can take to strengthen moderate Islam and counter the threat of Islamism. Written by Zeyno Baran, a Turkish-born Muslim, Citizen Islam sheds a sharp light on Muslim communities in the West. It concludes that there is much that Western governments can still do to reverse the spread of Islamism. But they must act quickly., This book explores one of the most serious strategic threats confronting the United States and Europe today: the advance of Islamism. >
